Connect to Nethunt Data in DBArtisan
The CData ODBC Driver for Nethunt seamlessly integrates Nethunt data into database management tools like DBArtisan by enabling you to access Nethunt data as a database. This article shows how to create an data source for Nethunt in DBArtisan and execute queries. You can then edit data visually and execute standard SQL.
Integrate Nethunt Data into DBArtisan Projects
If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Nethunt Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Nethunt.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Nethunt (see below).
Nethunt API Profile Settings
Navigate to Settings > Integration in your NetHunt account to generate an API Key. The Username must be the email address associated with your NetHunt account.
You can then follow the steps below to register Nethunt data as a database instance in your project:
- In DBArtisan, click Data Source -> Register Datasource.
- Select Generic ODBC.
- Enter a name for the data source and select the DSN.
- Finish the wizard to connect to Nethunt data. Nethunt entities are displayed in the Datasource Explorer.
You can now work with Nethunt data as you work with any other database. See the driver help documentation for more information on the queries supported by the Nethunt API.
